In this opinion video, Soumaya Ghannoushi — a writer and expert on Middle East politics — examines US President Donald Trump’s tour of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, arguing that it is not diplomacy, but “theatre—staged in gold and fuelled by greed.”

Guten Morgen, Freunde der Eisenbahn.
Bei Bahn389 sind zwei weitere Linien fertig. Neu sind der D1 als Insel-Anschlussverkehr zum EC1. Es fahren 2 Züge mit einer Taucherbrille, zwei Dosto und einem ABfhvpee395.
Der D2 wird von Leoexpress betrieben. Hier flitzt ein Flirt im 2h-Takt über die Strecke. 30 Minuten Fahren, 30 Minuten Stehen.
Es fehlen jetzt noch 3 D-Zuglinien sowie die beiden Nachtzuglinien. Diese sind aber Einzellagen und ich muss erst den Nahverkehr machen, damit ich die Einzellagen planen kann.
Habt nen zauberhaften Freitag, ich mal mal neue Fahrzeuge für meine Pixelbahn
Das Bild zeigt eine detaillierte Übersichtskarte des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs in München, Deutschland. Die Karte ist in einem dunklen Farbton gehalten und zeigt verschiedene Linien in verschiedenen Farben, die die verschiedenen Verkehrsmittel darstellen. Die Linien sind mit Zahlen und Farben gekennzeichnet, die auf die jeweiligen Verkehrsmittel hinweisen.
Die Linien sind wie folgt beschriftet:
- Mittelblau: ICE 1 (2x 403)
- Helieber: ICE 2 (4x 406)
- Blaui: ICE 1 (3x 411)
- Grün: EC1 (193 mit 2x MAV und 7x CD)
- Gelbgrün: EC2 (12162 mit Railjet1)
- Braun: IC1 (1016 mit ÖBB)
- Blasslila: IC2 (120 mit DB-Wagen)
- Gold: IC4 (Westbahn mit 4010)
- Lila: ICS (ZWS-234 mit DB-Wagen)
- Graugrün: D1 (750.7 mit zwei Dosto & Steuerwagen)
- D2 (Leo mit Flirt Br 480)
Die Linien sind mit Nummern gekennzeichnet, die auf die jeweiligen Verkehrsmittel hinweisen. Die Linie 7 ist in einem blauen Bereich hervorgehoben und umrandet mit der Bezeichnung "Lila umrandet: 'Tschechien'".
Die Karte zeigt auch die Namen der Stationen, die von den Linien bedient werden, wie z.B. Hansestadt Altona, Heuestadt Altona, Dominospital, Schonau, Ostrava, Prag, Stadthausen, Rovershagen & Westerlön und Metropolica München.
Die Karte ist ein nützliches Werkzeug für die Navigation im öffentlichen Nahverkehr in München und bietet eine umfassende Übersicht über die verschiedenen Verkehrsmittel und ihre Routen.

New York University (NYU) has withheld the diploma of a student who used his graduation speech to accuse the US of supporting "genocide" in Gaza.
Undergraduate Logan Rozos told the crowd on Wednesday that he condemned the "atrocities currently happening in Palestine".
An NYU spokesperson accused Mr Rozos of lying about what he had planned to say in the address in order to "express his personal and one-sided political views".
